Hiya
I bought 6 tickets to the Bon Jovi concert via groupon last week but unfortunately a couple of the people can't make it.
It says in the terms and conditions that you have to bring a print out coupon that groupon has sent me on the day of the concert and proof of ID to collect the tickets,however my name isn't mentioned on the print out coupon.they have also sent me 6 emails /coupons (1 per ticket)
Anyway now I am stuck with 2 extra tickets,can I sell them on(for face value,not looking to make money) and forward them a copy of the email with the coupon on for them to print out and get the tickets with their ID (as I say my name isn't mentioned on the coupon but will he ticket office have my name???) I should also mention I bought 2 tickets and then went back an hour later and bought a further 4
Here is the fine print

If you were giving them to someone as a gift they wouldn't have your id which is the same thing.If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0

I hate buying tickets for people who then back out. The couple should give you the money for the tickets anyway, if they initially agreed to go. That way you could make some extra or not hassle yourself as you're not down moneywise.£2019 in 2019 #44 - 864.06/20190

agree 100% on this comment. Has happened to me many times here!0 -
Isn't the answer to this to get the ticket money off the people who blew you out, then it's up to them to sell/give them away/bin them ??0

Yep it's the people who originally were suppose to go. I had to not go to a gig once because a job came up. I found someone else to go, but would have still paid if I couldn't find anyone (or got my friends to give it away for free to someone wanting to buy off a tout lol)0
